Lunches Lately

It has been unbelievably unseasonably warm lately. I know I usually eat a lot of salads anyway but I've been enjoying some especially colorful ones. Avocados were on sale recently and they make any dish seem more summery. So here are a couple pretty salads I've been lunching and munching on:

Oooh pretty, colorful salads indeed! The weather has indeed been gorgeous lately which makes me happy since eating a mostly raw diet in January is a bit daunting but I think for now it'll be ok :) I'll have to take note on these salads when I need some inspiration! I totally have my window open right now.

I love your salads, they're so original, and so pretty. It's unseasonably warm here too, so much so that (and seriously, we should be wearing parkas and curling up with our significant other or in lieu of that, a heating pad or a couple of cats even inside) I actually cleaned my windows today. Not, however, warm enough to eat outside, which would weird me out entirely. Different latitude, different customs...

Oh man, it's been super warm here too! I mean, if -5 is your idea of warm. It's amazing though. Not amazing enough to eat outside, but I don't have to wear a scarf, and in January, that's saying something. And whenever I find discount avocados I do a happy dance.

VAVA, you can do it! I'm looking forward to yr version of the cleanse.

Zoa, you cleaned rather than curl up with a loved one?? What does your dizzy cat think of this??

Shen, thank you, although no artichokes here...

Ingrid, I'm similar with dressings...The sauerkraut produced enough "juice" for the first salad, and for the other two I couldn't think of a dressing that wouldn't clash with beans but I was happy enough without. Salsa is a fabulous "dressing!"

These are all so pretty! Gimmie a salad with kraut ANY day and I'm a happy camper!I know what you mean about unseasonably warm. It feels like Spring over here, and I haven't had to use my photo/lighting box once since Winter. Yay for outdoor photos (before the rain gets here and never leaves)! ;)-S

I've been on a winter salad kick lately too, thanks to the warmer temperatures. Kraut, hummus, and avocados are some of the best salad ingredients ever, in my opinion. Lauren is a stellar source of salad inspiration. Now if I only had some Bubbies :)
